A newer drug appears to work well against head lice, researchers report. The new study used a lotion made with ivermectin, an insecticide. Researchers randomly divided 765 children who were infested with head lice into 2 groups. One group received ivermectin lotion. The other got a placebo containing no medicine. The lotions were applied to the hair and left on for 10 minutes before rinsing. A day later, 95% of the ivermectin group and 31% of the placebo group were louse-free. Researchers also checked at day 15 because louse eggs may hatch after treatment. At that point, 74% of the ivermectin group and 18% of the placebo group still had no lice. Researchers said current treatments, such as permethrin and pyrethrin, are only about 50% effective. Lice also have been gaining resistance to these treatments. Ivermectin is approved for other uses, but doctors can prescribe it for head lice. The New England Journal of Medicine published the study. An editorial in the issue said doctors should still prescribe standard treatments first and malathion second. The authors said we need to know more about ivermectin's long-term safety. HealthDay News wrote about the study October 31.
What Is the Doctor's Reaction?
If you've ever had a child with head lice — or if you've ever had lice yourself — you know it can be a big deal. Here are just some of the reasons that head lice matter:
Stigma – Having lice is often viewed as an indication of poor hygiene. But this is a myth.
Misguided treatment – False claims and misunderstanding about the head lice often lead to treatments that are dangerous or don't work. Examples include excessive and even risky medicine use and repeated hair shaving.
Occasional medical effects – Itching and scratching may lead to bacterial skin infections. Rarely, lice transmit Bartonella quintana, the bacteria that cause "trench fever." This infection is marked by high fever, headache, bone pain and a rash. It first was described in World War I soldiers.
Expense – The estimated cost of head lice in the U.S. is $1 billion each year! That includes the medical costs of treating head lice and the indirect costs, such as parents missing work when their kids aren't allowed to return to day care or school.
To make matters worse, lice increasingly are becoming resistant to standard treatments.
Given these realities, news about an easy and effective treatment for head lice may be important.
The New England Journal of Medicine published the results of a new study that tested ivermectin as a treatment for head lice. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the treatment for head lice in February, but ivermectin is not the usual first choice of treatment. It's mainly used as an oral medicine for parasitic worm infections. So this research looked at a new way to use an old medicine.
The study included 765 children and adults who were infested with head lice. They were randomly assigned to receive ivermectin lotion or a placebo lotion. The placebo looked the same but contained no medicine. Each lotion was applied to the hair and scalp once for 10 minutes. Household contacts were treated only if they were also found to have lice.
The results were impressive:
Lice were gone 2 days after treatment for 95% of those treated with ivermectin lotion (and just 31% with the placebo).
By day 15, the cure rates were 74% for ivermectin and 18% for placebo.
Side effects were minor and the same in both groups.
Assessing the cure rate after 2 weeks is important because eggs laid before treatment may not hatch for 7 to 10 days. While the cure rate was not 100% at 2 weeks, that's common even with other highly effective treatments. It could be partly related to poor application of the lotion or to a second infection.
What Changes Can I Make Now?
Try to get past the "ick" factor. Lice may seem disgusting, but they are rarely dangerous. And they are usually easy to treat. If you or your child has head lice, here's what you can do:
Use a medicine recommended by your doctor, such as:
Benzyl alcohol lotion
Ivermectin (as described in this study)
Treat again 7 to 10 days after the first treatment if your doctor or pharmacist recommends it.
Comb the hair to remove nits (eggs).
Wash sheets, pillowcases or clothing with hot water and a heated dryer if they have come into contact with an infested person's head. Brushes, combs, hair accessories and hats should be washed in hot water as well.
Here's what you need not do:
Shave the person's head
Isolate the person – It's not even clear that keeping a child home from school because of head lice is necessary. But most U.S. schools and day care programs have policies that require kids with head lice to stay home.
Coat the hair in petroleum jelly or olive oil –You may be told this will suffocate the critters, but it hasn't been well studied. Besides, there are more effective options.
Hire industrial cleaners to "sterilize" your home – Lice require a blood meal every few hours. They don't last long on non-living surfaces, such as countertops or floors.

Rhetoric and Reality in International Large-Scale Assessment
13th William H. Angoff Memorial Lecture Now Available
- Contact:
- Tom Ewing

- Tom Ewing
Princeton, NJ (October 2, 2012) —
The newly-published William H. Angoff Lecture, "No Country Left Behind: Rhetoric and Reality of International Large-Scale Assessments," focuses on the nature and quality of comparative international assessments and outlines several caveats and cautions that policymakers should consider when interpreting the results.
Copies of the 13th Angoff Lecture are now available in both print and download, officials of Educational Testing Service announced today.
Michael J. Feuer, Dean of the Graduate School of Education and Human Development (GSEHD) at The George Washington University, delivered the lecture before nearly 150 researchers, policymakers, association representatives, media and other educators gathered in Washington, D.C., last year.
Feuer focuses on three areas: inferring trends from snapshots, linking educational measures to national economic outcomes, and over relying on international assessments for high-stakes national education policy decisions.
"ETS is very pleased to feature Dean Feuer's thoughtful insights for our 13th William H. Angoff Memorial Lecture," says Ida Lawrence, ETS Senior Vice President of Research & Development. "He confirms that comparative educational data can help teachers teach, administrators govern schools and students learn. However, everyone has to focus on gathering the right data and interpreting it correctly."
"To better understand U.S. student achievement and its role in ensuring a strong economy, we should work on improving the quality of international educational comparisons," Feuer says. "Learning from the efforts, accomplishments and circumstances in other countries is critical as we anticipate an increasingly complex and globally interdependent world."
Feuer explains that many people associate America's current economic situation with the state of the nation's education system and the goal of continued economic productivity and competitiveness is certainly linked to our educational performance. "But the extraordinary resilience of the American economy and the historical agility of the American education system should give us hope for our future."
"Good international educational comparisons should be a stimulus for broad and deep conversations about what the nation values in its school system, and what we need to do to improve student achievement and continue economic progress," Lawrence adds. "Dean Feuer's lecture is a must-read for everyone interested in this important topic."

Honolulu >Kahala Hotel & Resort
5000 Kahala Ave, Honolulu, HI | Directions 9681621.27175 -157.77398
M-Su 24hr
Neighborhoods: Waialae - Kahala
Wonderful High-End Hotel – My husband and I have stayed at some of the best hotels and resorts around the world. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this luxurious resort. Impeccable service, beautiful accommodations and wonderful food. I look forward to staying there again in the future.
Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Best massage ever! – I came here for an impromptu honeymoon, even though I live here, and the spa treatment was AMAZING!!! Probably the best massage I've ever had. If you go, ask for the blonde German lady, she's very sweet and has magical hands. Can't wait to come back!
Dreamy – Just the right distance from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, located in the secluded Kahala neighborhood. Taking naps in the king-size canopy bed with the tradewinds blowing into the room was great. Large rooms with parque wood floors and large bathrooms. Kids will love the dolphins in the lagoon. The restaurants onsite are great. We had dinner on the outside terrace overlooking the moonlit ocean while live hawaiian music played. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.
Glamour and Asian influences in the shadow of Diamond Head. – The Scene
This hotel stands apart from the pack of finer hotels on Oahu for a number of reasons, beginning with its location. It juts up from the beach of Kahala, a posh suburban community on the far side of Diamond Head from Waikiki, a good mile or more from the next-nearest high-rise. This puts it a short hop away from the attractions of Waikiki, but in another world in terms of getting away from it all.
The Details
This ten-story structure is an impressive sample of mid-1960s modernist architecture. It's all straight lines and naked structuralism. When it was the Kahala Hilton, it had built a reputation for excellence that attracted kings, presidents, actors and authors. While many people remember it by its old name, it's safe to say that its mid-'90s buyers, the Mandarin Oriental group, have taken it to a new level. Their thorough renovation threw out everything that didn't work--the dated '70s room decor and dining experiences included--and installed everything that does. This includes star restaurant Hoku's, offering Hawaii Regional cuisine beside the beach. The hotel still has its private lagoon with a small collection of dolphins. Recent sightings of Cameron Diaz surely sustain its reputation as the most glamorous Oahu hotel.
Definitely in my top 5 – Wow, I was very impressed with this hotel. My room was big and nice with more amenities than I really could use. The service was fantastic, and the restaurants were great. The view from my room wasn't perfect (I saw quite a bit of roof for having a prime oceanview room), but I was paying a discount rate. By discount, we are talking $380, but actually if you have the money, this place is worth it. Oh, and it's near Waikiki, but not at Waikiki, so you get some peace and quiet.

Pope, a 100-yard rusher in the Chattanooga game and beyond the window for redshirting, injured his left knee in the first quarter of Saturday's 51-21 loss at Eastern Kentucky. Slota hurt his wrist later in the game.
It's likely a matter of weeks before either is back to full strength.
"I think there may be a role for (Slota)," Crowe said Sunday. "I don't think there'll be much he can do, but I think we'll find out … Tuesday how functional he can be. He's going to be extremely limited at best."
Pope got hurt on the first play after a 73-yard Gabe Chambers kick return set up the Gamecocks at EKU's 20. He watched the second half in sweats and walked to the dressing room after the game with a noticeable stiffness in his leg.
"I have literally no expectation of him playing this week," Crowe said.
If Slota can't go, his duties will fall on freshman walkon Darrius Stephens. With Pope out, Washaun James and Damarcus James will become more prevalent in the offense. The Gamecocks had only 112 yards rushing against Eastern Kentucky.
Crowe also said Sunday the Gamecocks are looking at position changes on defense this week because some players have not progressed through the open week.
The Gamecocks (1-2, 0-1 OVC) have slipped to 106 or worse in all five major FCS defensive categories this week. They are 121 – last -- in pass efficiency defense and 117 in total defense.

Series: Intelligent Design and Common Ancestry (3 entries)
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
The Galápagos Islands were not a distinct "center of creation," but a workshop for evolution in which an ancestral species made it to the yet uncolonized island and underwent a massive degree of speciation to adapt to the environment of the island. This is precisely what one would expect if the species of islands had arisen by evolution.
In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
BioLogos interim web editor Emily Ruppel recently traveled to Boston for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) conference, where she took an afternoon off from lecture-going to catch up with Doug Lauffenburger, head of the biological engineering department at MIT and a member of the American Scientific Affiliation.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
We live in exciting times for a geneticist: more and more genomes are being sequenced, and more and more novel genome-wide analyses are being performed to shed light on what all those newly-determined sequences mean.
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.
We have already discussed hind limb and hair loss in whales, and now we turn to one of the remaining questions: tooth loss in the lineage leading to modern toothless whales.
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment on "junk DNA", we explore how genomics can be employed to test for non-functional sequences by comparing sequences between related organisms.
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.

A wave of wonderful new online tools, like the HeritageQuest database from ProQuest, makes doing your family history research much easier than it used to be! Here's why:
The key to accessing your ancestors is accessing documents, the paper records they left behind as they went through life. You'll need to look for your relatives in all kinds of documents, like birth, marriage, and death registers; cemetery rosters; and military service records. To locate all these records and get a complete picture of your heritage, you'll have to visit lots of different libraries, archives, courthouses, and cemeteries.
This is where HeritageQuest becomes a real lifesaver for you because it provides easy at-home access to all kinds of documents, all in one place!
Using HeritageQuest you can access the U.S. Federal Census (1790-1930), an invaluable starting point in family history research. HeritageQuest also makes it possible for you to search for ancestors in published family history books, in genealogical magazines and local history books, in Revolutionary War service records, and in the fascinating records of the Freedman's Bank (an institution set up by the U. S. government to serve former slaves following the Civil War).
CRRL provides HeritageQuest as a supplement to AncestryLibrary, another ProQuest genealogy database that is commonly used in libraries for searching the U.S. Federal Census. And HeritageQuest is available for use from home, for free, with a library card. That's another way it differs from AncestryLibrary, which must be used at a CRRL branch in order to avoid a fee.

Hi, guys
Im new to the forum, so sorry if the subject of this post has been addressed before.
our Culligan Water Softener seems to be leaking from the Brine tank (salt tank)......or it could be coming from the softener tank itself......I have not been able to dry the floor sufficiently yet to determine the offender...but I think its the brine tank.
there are no leaks in the plumbing or valve body or purge lines and the float in the brine tank seems to be operational and moves freely.
The whole house filter is not leaking....
I have put the softener on bypass for now until I can figure it out...if I cant, I have to call Culligan...the thing is only 3-4 years old.
any help would be appreciated.
problem: I have not been able to locate the paperwork yet..usually Im really good with that stuff, but must have filed it somewhere where it would be "safe".......
thanks in advance!
The water did not taste any different before I put the unit on bypass mode...and it was leaking then...Would I have salt all over the floor if it were the softener tank?....
The floor is concrete, so its tough to determine which tank it is, but Ill go down there and mop everything up with towels to see where its coming from....Sounds like it might be coming from the softener tank.
either way, it look like its time to give Culligan a call...
Ill keep you guys posted...
The copper or other plumbing could be sweating so much that water shows up on the floor.
The valve could be leaking.
The brine/salt tank could have a break in the bottom in away that the water is leaking out and if the case any water that dries will have white crystals showing up as the water leaves.
The softener media tank would be sweating so much that the outer jacket is no longer able to hold it back and is showing up on the floor.
Clean up the water and dry the area and watch closely for the next few days of normal water usage inside the house to see where the water shows up from.
I have a conventional non-proprietary softener and noticed the same problem a couple months ago. It was easy to identify the 11-year-old brine tank as the source of the leak due to the location of all my components, but the taste test and the white salty residue at the margins of the spill area (where the water had evaporated, leaving the salt) confirmed it. I removed the "dry" salt from the tank for reuse, dumped the remainder into old salt bags for disposal, and flushed the area thoroughly to get rid of the salt. On inspection of the failed tank, I found it had cracked on the bottom for no good reason -- I'll post a picture later.
(I kept the old tank for use as a lawn-trash barrel.) No idea why it decided to crack after sitting in the same place for 11 years, but it was a low-quality concrete job on the floor, and there may well have been a piece of gravel or somethingunder the barrel. A trip to a local dealer and $100 later, I had a new tank and tower -- all I needed was the tank, but all he sold was the combo. 15 minutes to install, refill with salt, and start a dummy regeneration cycle and I was back in business.

Have always had great food,ambiance and customer service. – We have had many great meals at Holdrens. The blue cheese topping over the filet is the way to go. They have a great wine list that competes with any restaurant on state st. We always go for the smores as they are a family favorite. We can't wait till we go again.
Great people watching – My husband and I were in Santa Barbara to celebrate our 21st anniversary. Holdren's was recommended by several locals we talked to. We arrived at 6:20, no reservations, and were seated immediately at the outside cafe. We started with the crab cake appetizers, served on pilaf. Delicious crab cakes, didn't need the pilaf. My husband ordered the crab stuffed chicken breast. He ate about 4 bites, and couldn't eat the rest. He didn't enjoy the 'odd' taste. I ordered the house salad, good, but a little too much dressing. My entree was crunchy coconut shrimp with mango chutney- delicious and a large portion thankfully, because I ended up sharing with my husband (and he doesn't really like coconut). For dessert, he ordered the double chocolate sin cake - enormous serving, and very tasty. I ordered the caramel apple cobbler with streusel topping. I took one bite and tasted onions, not to mention, it wasn't completely cooked, and the 'struesel' was 'gooey'. I expected more from the food after the rave reviews the locals gave it. The service was just ok. When I mentioned to the waitress that my dessert was still uncooked, she acted like it was putting her out to fix it, so I told her nevermind, and just didn't eat it. Probably wouldn't go there again.
Terrible Filet Mignon – My boyfriend and I were recently in Santa Barbara for my 30th birthday. We were off to a late start so we didn't have too many choices. As we were driving along State St. we saw this steak place was still open and it looked like a fairly nice restaurant. We enjoyed the atmosphere, the service was fine and the food came out timely. I could have saved a lot of money had I only ordered the salad. The Carmelized Apple & Walnut Salad was delicious. It went downhill from here... Both my boyfriend and I ordered the filet mignon medium rare and it had absolutely no taste. The only reason I continued to eat part of it was because I was starving and I didn't want to chance not finding anything else open. By far this was the worse piece of meat I've ever had. Very disappointed.
Excellent meal and friendly wait staff – While in Santa Barbara this past weekend for a wedding I had occasion to dine at Holdren's for dinner. Since we were splurging on a two-night weekend stay in SB, we decided to make a splurge weekend of it -- and this was our dinner splurge. We started with the sauteed mushroom and grilled Castro Valley artichoke appetizers. They were a wonderful start. The mushrooms were sauteed with sliced garlic (that I was eating off the top) and with a hint of white wine. The artichoke was grilled with seasonings and had a garlic aioli and clarified butter for dipping. YUM! They had a great crusty bread and a chewy dark brown bread...also with butter for spreading and dipping. I had the sirloin and shrimp entree with rice pilaf and a side of grilled asparagus. As usual, my eyes were bigger than my stomach and I barely dented my steak, but I made sure I tasted a little of everything...and I was not disappointed in the least.
One thing I noticed about Holdren's that made me feel like we'd made a wise choice was that there seemed to be a large local contingent dining that evening. When locals dine, it's got to be a good place...especially in a town with sooooooooo many options.
Give Holdren's a try.
Best steak house in Santa Barbara – Most restaurants on State Street aren't great because they cater primarily to tourists so they don't need to be great - folks will only eat there once!
I frequent Holdren's and have had great meals there every time. I recommend their bleu cheese and rosemary porter steak - it will melt in your mouth. A great selection of comfort food side dishes like mac n' cheese, creamed spinach, twice baked potatoes...mmm mmm. The staff, though always busy (except at lunch time) are attentive and a lot of fun. They realize you are there to enjoy a good meal and don't pester you. Timing is right on. Their specials are created to get you in the door and are good creations in themselves but you can order of the menu and feel confident of freshness and quality. Pretty good wine list, though marked up more than usual. The sign of a good restaurant in this town is if it is full even on weeknights - this means that locals come back time and time again.

WTB Rocket V SLT Silver Saddle
The Rocket V is WTB's most popular high-performance saddle both on the road and in the dirt. The uniquely contoured pad shape helps increase power output by properly angling the sit bones.
I've had a few of the Rocket V saddles over the years and like them a lot. The whale tail scoop at the back of the saddle keeps my butt in place so I'm not sliding all over. The only down side is the silver side panels are a little grungy now after a few years of use.

The creation message continues its march around the world, as Answers WorldWide moves closer to its goal of translating key talks into twelve different languages. The next stop is Tokyo, Japan.
Japanese is the fifth language to receive the Creation Mini-Series, consisting of several popular talks by apologist Ken Ham. The DVD series is already available for distribution in Spanish, Chinese, and two major languages of India (Hindi and Telegu).
The talks, which include hundreds of PowerPoint illustrations, will be translated and recorded before a live Japanese audience this summer. The goal is to see these videos distributed to millions of people in each language group, especially in Chinese, where free DVD distribution is rampant (whether legal or not).
The talks are scheduled for August 21–23, 2009, hosted and cosponsored by Creation Research Japan and Tokyo Baptist Church. Both groups actively seek to spread the truth of Creation—and the need for salvation—in their native land.

Saturday's victory was the 14th by the FCS over the FBS this season. The old record was 13 set in 2000.
The Gamecocks, meanwhile, improved to 5-16 against FBS teams. Their last win was that 2010 double-overtime thriller over Ole Miss.
No safe place
JSU tight ends coach/recruiting coordinator Jody Wright will be sporting a cast on his right wrist for the next couple weeks courtesy of Gamecocks punter Hamish MacInnes in pregame warm-ups last week.
Wright was talking with a bunch of recruits in the end zone while MacInnes was going through his routine before the Gamecocks' double overtime win over North Alabama. Tight end Luke Smith was standing nearby with his back to the action and and Markis Merrill backpedaling to field the punt.
Wright nudged Smith out of the way to keep Merrill from running into him and MacInnes' punt hit him square between the thumb and forefinger.
Ever committed, Wright played through the pain. He continued talking to recruits and spent the game with his hand on ice.
"When I went to the emergency room the doctor said he didn't think that could break your hand," Wright said. "I said, 'You don't know our punter.'
"I told Hamish when he makes it to the NFL that can be his story: He kicks the ball so hard it can break a hand."
Recruiting news
Eagle's Landing Christian quarterback Dalton Etheridge went to social media earlier this week to tweet he has committed to the Gamecocks. The 6-foot-0, 190-pound dual-threat senior had been picking up interest since the summer.
Etheridge's coach, Jonathan Gess, told the Henry (Ga.) Daily Herald it came down to "the fact (JSU) … was the only quarterback they offered" — back in July — and wouldn't go after another quarterback until he made up his mind.
The Gamecocks have a commitment from Louisville, Miss., quarterback Wyatt Roberts.
They also have commitments from Mobile Christian center Jordan Cagle, Sweetwater athlete Jakoby Aldridge and Walker linebacker Austin Mansell.
Successful proposal
She said yes.
The Jacksonville State football family had double reason to celebrate Saturday at the Georgia Dome.
Not only did the Gamecocks pick up their fourth win of the season in overtime, but shortly after the game, outside linebackers coach and special teams coordinator Daric Riley got down in the victory formation and asked fiancée Kathy Kuneyl for her hand in marriage. She gladly accepted.
"She said yes, what else is there to say," Riley said.
Everybody was in on it. The players ran out of the locker room and gathered with the coaches and supporters to witness the happy moment.
"We've been talking about that for months and months," JSU coach Bill Clark said. "We talk a lot about family. It's a big deal to us. I want these guys to feel like this is part of their family.
"The coaches were in on it. The wives were in on it. I'm glad we did it on a happy occasion, a double happy occasion. I'm glad she said yes."
Up next
The Gamecocks open Ohio Valley Conference play against Murray State 3 p.m. Saturday at JSU Stadium.
The Racers come to town with an Ole Miss transfer at quarterback (Maikhail Miller) and one of the country's most dynamic athletes in receiver/return specialist Walter Powell.
The Gamecocks are expecting to have senior offensive lineman Taylor Johnstone back for the game. Johnstone was ruled ineligible for the first four games after being advised incorrectly and failing to secure enough hours toward a degree.
"I'm ready," Johnstone said. "I've been chomping at the bit. These past four weeks have been the longest in my life."

Having the ability to bring steel to a temperature high enough to change its physical state is essential in knifemaking / bladesmithing. I am going to show you how to build a forge that is simple, safe, and effective. There are countless gas forge builds documented on the internet, I want to set this one apart by showing exactly where I got the materials and how they go together to result in a forge that work will work for you too!
Gas v Charcoal
I have made both gas and charcoal forges/ furnaces. Both types are relatively simple to build, but for my needs, a propane fueled forge is the only option. I live in a residential area. I have neighbors on all four sides of my shop within 100 ft. Using gas lets me run a simple setup inside my garage with minimal fire hazard. Propane is much more space efficient and cost effective in my situation. However, if you live in an more rural area, you may want to consider using coal.
Step 1: Materials
Firebrick is different that ordinary red brick because of its ability to withstand high heat without breaking down. Shipping brick is not exactly cost effective, so only order it as a last resort. Search your area for a distributor. Google Maps makes this easy, search keyword phrases like "Firebrick", "Fireplace" or "Refractory". Call ahead to your selected business to make sure they have firebrick and what sizes they offer. The ones I used for this forge are 2 1/2x4x9".
I also found some thinner bricks at Tractor Supply Co. They are 1 1/4" thick and I used them on the top and bottom of the forge to insulate it, but if this is all you have access to, try wiring 4 of them together for the proper thickness.
The burner is the assembly that applies heat to the forge. You can find plans and parts online to build high pressure high heat propane burners. To make it simple, I suggest you buy the Bernzomatic Hose Torch Propane Kit. Home depot carries them in store for about 65$.
You can also click here to get them from amazon.
The brass torch tips that screw onto the tops of bottles do not get nearly as hot as the bernzomatic torch. Also, if you do not already have a torch, investing in a quality model will add an extremely useful piece of equipment to your shop.
To run the torch off of a 20 lb propane tank, you are going to need a hose adapter. I got an 8' hose with the proper fittings from the camping section of walmart. You may be able to buy the female to male fitting on its own, but I chose the hose adapter because it added an additional 8' into my setup.
I want to do a furnace using normal butane gas, the same one we use in kitchen or boilers, is it possible ? I´m very new to this but almost got most of materials.
I´m living in mexico and around here is not that easy to find a place where I can use charcoal to melt metal, because people ( and police ) dont like to see people burning things....
Propane ( like benzomatic ) is very expensive here, and I must find a cheaper way of melt.
So my option would be use common gas, is this possible or I´m missing something ?
Btw, your furnace is a nice inspiration to me.
Thankyou for share it.
No that's wrong. If you turn down the gas flow of a blowtorch it will be a normal flame. All a blowtorch does is allow more air into the mix, it doesn't actually pump it in which makes a hell of a difference. The difference is akin to a blowtorch versus a cutting torch.
effect. Tthe propane pipe slides into a fluted air horn and by sliding it in and out I can change the air fuel mix.
I would use the hi-temp 2500℉ soft fire brick, would be better and a lot easy to cut,
also a lot better in holding your temp, less heat loss and comes up to temp faster than hard brick.
Nice little forge thou
RE stuff on the hose scale not to bad.. but a red hot bar is not good, first hand experience.
LPG is heaver that air so be careful
Thanks for the advice!
Great instructable, thanks!
EDIT: After I typed that I double checked the price and saw they have the same type as the one you listed, but an off-brand, for $25 regular price. Hope that helps at least someone!
But I am concerned about the safty issue of you telling people to turn gas off at bottle first. I was always told for saftey reasons to turn of at point closest to flame to prevent the posibility of the flame going back into the nozel & up the hose as the presure dropped.at the nozel this can cause a lot of damage even cause the tank to explode. I would be more inclined to turn off at nozel & after removing from forge & closing off the valve to the tank to reignite & burn off the excess gas if you were concerned about just releasing the presure to the atmosphere

High School Level Youth Soccer Players
3 comments:
My thought is that by the time kids get on a U18 team, they either are committed or they are decent but not committed.
My son's team is ranked highly, but they struggle to get 22 people at practices and 16 at tournaments.
- February 4, 2014 at 2:23 PM
I am hearing a lot of the U16G coaches are telling their players not to play HS soccer next year.
Makes sense from a scholarship perspective, as you don't want girls getting hurt going into the committ period, but it sucks for the social aspect of HS.
- February 17, 2014 at 2:27 PM
Most HS Coaches are also club coaches now. Some HSs in this region are extremely good and there is a huge benefit in playing HS, but if the HS is average at best, better to not risk injury. Winning and/or losing 6-0 does nothing but stats like ecnl.

Zermatt Unplugged: Now advanced sale and attractive acts
A festival of acoustic music, love songs and storytelling. Back to the simply beautiful song. With a clear signal in the direction of singer-songwriters, Zermatt Unplugged is starting the advance sales for the fifth edition, which will take place from the 17th to the 21st April 2012.
With eight of the ten acts for the Marquee Stage and the Vernissage, Zermatt Unplugged is presenting singer-songwriters from the USA, Great Britain, Germany, France, Ireland and New Zealand. In the shape of Grégoire, a top French star will be appearing on the Marquee Stage for the first time in the five-year history of the festivals. Amy Macdonald is certainly one of the most talented and successful female musicians of the last few years. At the age of only 22, she was already appearing on stages all around the world following the success of her This is the Life and A Curious Thing albums.
Aloe Blacc, who became known through his song I Need a Dollar, will redefine soul for us, and, in advance of his performance, has already announced a creative journey into the past. And, with Chris de Burgh, we will be celebrating the return of the artist who opened the very first Zermatt Unplugged concert in 2007.
The line-up of the Vernissage is a class for itself: Zermatt Unplugged presents the artists in an intimate setting here. There are some unique performances ahead of us, with Newton Faulkner, Clueso & Bernewitz Trio, Jonathan Jeremiah and Brooke Fraser. All the signs indicate that the stages in the mountain areas will be expanded further at Zermatt Unplugged 2012. A successful start was made last year with the Blue Lounge at Blauherd.
"Keep the Customer Satisfied"
Naturally 7, the vocal play act at Zermatt Unplugged 2011, launched their new song Keep the Customer Satisfied to coincide with the start of the advance sales. The video clip was recorded last year during the festival period in a cable car between Sunnegga and Rothorn paradise, together with the Roc Kidz Crew street dancers. The clip conveys the unique feeling of their performance and of unamplified music in what is certainly the most breath- taking mountain landscape in Europe.
Founded in 2007 by Thomas Sterchi and Marco Godat as a singer and songwriter festival, Zermatt Unplugged is increasingly developing into a meeting point for fans of undistorted sounds. Musicians and bands such as Suzanne Vega, Chris de Burgh, Alanis Morissette, Jason Mraz, Onerepublic, Billy Idol, Mando Diao, Seal, Lionel Richie and Reamonn have been inspired by the "Unplugged" idea and have played on the Marquee and Club Stages of the festival.
Early next year, from the 17th – 21st April 2012, Zermatt Unplugged will be digging its way through the snow and ice at 1,620 metres above sea level. The festival invites outstanding and internationally known musicians to measure themselves against a unique, high alpine background, completely without any studio technology.

Google filed a patent this week that brings BYOD to a new level. The patent covers a camera-enhanced smart contact lens that is controlled by the wearer's eye movements. Think Google Glass without the frames. Essentially, the technology could allow users to gaze over a scene. Capturing image data along the way. And then retouch and share through a tablet or smartphone.
By now you've likely read the articles about the recent vulnerability uncovered in OpenSSL that has affected vendors and companies that rely on this near-ubiquitous open source security protocol.

Congratulations to the UCONN Huskies, the NCAA March Madness champs! It's always exciting when the underdog prevails. When the odds are stacked against you, as an IT pro, that is, you need to be prepared to manage through a bunch of problems that can make life difficult.
The goal of every NCAA March Madness team is to reach the Final Four. The experts say this validates the season and makes it a success. Yet, is it enough to just get there? Or does true satisfaction only come when the confetti drops and you are the last team standing? We've had a heck of a tournament thus far and it's a shame only one team will win, but that's just the way the bracket goes.
On the courts and on the network, coaches and IT managers are always looking for consistency and reliability. So when we have two of the strongest issues in the bracket squaring off in the Reliability Region for a trip to the Final Four, it's sure to get interesting.
